    Seventh one down MJ as a child. He looked so full of joy but it seems it never stayed that way. Whatever happened on and off the stage he will always be a musical legend that will never be superseded or surpassed.

    This modest casual drawer has done a soft but cool illustration that I like, not with the skill shown by previous images but I like it I don’t no why, maybe the “black and white” choice, bouncing on the “black or white” hit ;)

    Michael Jackson You are not alone You were meant to be the king of pop for your fans that ever loved you. Michael You are alway’s doing the moonwalk when you are dancing. You are not alone forever Your fans love your music and so do I. We will miss you in our hearts but keep the music with you whereever you go. I really think that I want to meet you someday. But I know you passed away at the age of 50. Rest in peace and sleep in our hearts. We do know that you were really the king of pop.
    We are very sorry about your death and we care about you and your music and your dance moves plus the moonwalk. I want to dress up as you for Halloween.
    We really do love your song’s that you sing when you are on the stage in your concerts. I am very sorry that you died, I feel your pain we had a chihuahua dog which we named Jose but he died of old age and I really am starting to miss him to, I really feel your pain.
    We love you Michael Jackson
    You are not alone

    hiiiiiiiiiiii,i want to ask if it is drawen or made by editing prog.????????and if it is by prog.what is it??????

    • http://www.DonnaMassa.com Donna Massa-Chappee

      Dear Mushera,

      Are you asking about my illustrations? What peticular artist or name of the art piece are you referring to. When we get an e-mail on our site we don’t necessarily know to whom the comment is addressed to. There are links to the artist’s site, on the site is usually their e-mail address that might help you get your answer.

      Hope I was of some help,
      Peace and Love
